Britans longest train journey from Aberdeen in Aberdeenshire, Scotland to Penzance in Cornwall, England is approximately 6563636.363636 bananas long.

Approximately?

Surely it depends on what you regard as the standard length of a banana.

It was tuppence a bag, I seem to recall.

That's my memory, too, when my sister & I went into London from Eltham Park railway station for a day out in the summer school holidays with mum & dad.

BTW Eltham Park Station doesn't exist anymore.
